For what values of a does weak law of large numbers (WLLN) hold?

Three urns U1, U2 and U3 each contain 5 black balls and 7 white balls initially. A ball is drawn at random from U1 and 2 balls of the drawn colour are added to U2. Then a ball is drawn at random from U2 and 3 balls of the drawn colour are added to U3. Find the probability or drawing a white ball from U3.

Let be distributed as bivariate normal BVN 13, 25; Calculate P(4 11.84| X 7).
